Our Heroes

Finley was admitted to hospital in March after months of repeated sickness where he was diagnosed with a type of cancer called Anaplastic Ependymoma.

A scan showed he had a mass on his brain and two days later he had surgery to remove the tumour. He then needed a second surgery to fit a shunt as fluid was not draining. A further scan showed a section that had grown, it was not known if this was scar tissue or a tumour so Finley underwent three intense rounds of chemotherapy which shrunk the section.

Finley was then sent to Florida for Proton Beam Therapy. A further scan after the Proton Beam Therapy showed this section has not changed in size and they are still unsure what it actually is. He is currently going through 7 more rounds of chemotherapy.

Finley is still so happy, he and his family are looking forward to hopefully going swimming when his line is out.
